England v IrelandA fortnight ago Ireland suffered no disgrace in their defeat by Wales while England, had they taken their chances, should have returned from Murrayfield with more to show for their efforts than a ten-point defeat. Both teams will be striving today to avoid the ignominy of winning ' the wooden spoon.'

Introduced by Melvyn BraggArt for art's sake ... money for God's sake.
The Story of the WPA
Forty years ago during the great depression, the United States government launched a unique experiment in subsidising artists. Forty thousand artists, writers, actors and musicians were put on the payroll of the Works Progress Administration. They set to work decorating post offices, schools and libraries, producing plays and writing state guides.
Among those taking part in tonight's 2nd House are
Zero Mostel, Studs Terkel , the black novelist Ralph Ellison , author of The Invisible Man, painters James Brooks and Alice Neel , art critic Harold Rosenberg , and actor and director John Houseman.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
